The Filibuster

Things seem a little topsy-turvy so far in the MLB playoffs. We still
have a long ways to go but I’m feeling a little confused as to who is
doing what and why. It helped me a little when I read Allen’s playoff
preview but I still find myself wondering who will actually come out on
top. So, what do you think Jeff? And considering your Cardinals aren’t
looking too good, I want to hear the truth, not your hopes.

Okay, Cheryl. It’s the truth you want, is it? You want the truth? Ha!

Neither can I.

That’s why I’ve been conducting a little research into one of my favorite adult beverages: Kalamazoo’s very own Bell’s Oberon beer. And this is what I’ve discovered:

Amazing you still have a sense of humor today…hmmm, maybe you’ve downed that 17th by now… couldn’t help notice 2 of the Dodgers starting pitchers were Phillies cast off’s…what were we thinking…sorry about that…:-)
I guess I should maybe order my Kalamazoo just in case…

Sucks to see the Cardinals go down the way they did. I listened to TBS try an soften the blow, but I doubt it did much good.
Good luck drinking yourself under though, I’ll order myself 3 dozen Budweisers just in case something happens to the Yankees…

Hope you’re doing better, Jeff. I was thinking of you when I watched the Dodgers celebrate on the field. I had a feeling you’d fall into a deep depression. But hey, sh_t happens, like Buz said. Maybe 2010 will be the year for the Cards.

Cards gone in three. Sox gone in three. Hate the Yanks. Hate Los Anaheim. Indifferent towards the Phils. Indifferent towards the Rox.
Ok, time to feign interest in the NHL. I assume Allen pretends to follow the Red Wings, but what NHL team do you acknowledge the existence of, Jeff?

Peter — Better get the Oberon now (if ya can). It’s seasonal and I think I bought all of it available here in the Chi 😉
Jane — Yeah, Pavano did well… except for those two mistakes… se la vie. Congrats. Now get ready for an Angel beatin’.
Buz — That’s baseball. Still hurts though.
Prince — Yadi was tryin’ to do too much. Unlike him. Besides, he can do no wrong… you know why. I won’t mention it again unless I HAVE to.
YHH — 3 dozen cases? I’d die just looking at that much.
Lisa — I’ll get over it. Not the first time it’s happened. Thanks for the concern though.
Emma — Si. Es la verdad. Y cuando su equipo es los Cardenales el futuro esta lleno de la esperanza.
Jonestein — Good question. Followed the Blues during my youth. I gave up on hockey in ’05. The Blackhawks buzz last year drew me back in. It’s a slow process… though I do have the Bears but no team has my heart quite like the Redbirds. *Tear*

OMG, this might be the funniest thing you’ve ever written, Jeff. It’s good to see you using humor to cope with your grief. I usually just get wasted and post expletive-filled rants on my blog.

NYColeman — Boy you take yourself WAY too seriously. Can’t you tell by the tone of the above piece that this is a place to have fun and chide and just hang loose, dude? Why are you Yankees fans so rough around the edges? I can’t wait to see how y’all react when you don’t win the WS… again. Jeesh.
